This isn't another guilt trip or admonition to prioritize God. Our problem is not in our intentions. Of course, we want to spend time with God.

The problem is in the execution, which often comes down to our planning—or failure to plan.

With competing demands, many of which are worthy and important, prioritizing this time of solitude with the invisible God can feel abstract and therefore less important.

We're tempted to think it doesn't really matter. But it does.

So how do we make this time happen?

Discerning a message and prepping a sermon amidst the other demands of preaching is a challenge. 

That's why we're offering this free guide to a process that will transform your sermon prep from work to respite—all while helping you discern a transformative message for your listeners. 

Last week, we introduced BsP's lectio divina sermon prep process in the post "What if You Never Had to Search for a Sermon Message Again?"

In this guide, we go deeper to help you implement each step of the 5-day process.

Even the most experienced preachers sometimes wonder how to pull another message out of too-familiar lessons.

Sermons driven by fear—or avoidance of embarrassment—may get the job done, but not pleasantly. 

What if there were another way? A better way?

What if we never had to look for a sermon message again? And no, I don't mean looking to the internet to "borrow" someone else's sermon.

I mean, what if we didn't have to look for the message at all?

Some of us have manageable and set routines for the week which includes sermon prep. 

Most of us don’t.
